• Key Concepts: 
  Effectivity type is a feature of SAP's Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH) component that allows users to define the scope of an engineering change. Effectivity types are used to determine which objects are affected by a change and when the change will take effect. Effectivity types can be used to define the start and end dates of a change, as well as the objects that are affected by the change.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use effectivity type, users must first create an effectivity type in the LO-ECH component. This can be done by selecting the “Create Effectivity Type” option from the menu. Once an effectivity type has been created, users can assign it to an engineering change. This will determine which objects are affected by the change and when it will take effect.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an effectivity type, it is important to consider how long the change should last and which objects should be affected by it. This will help ensure that the engineering change is applied correctly and efficiently. Additionally, users should ensure that they have selected the correct effectivity type for their engineering change, as this will determine how long the change will last and which objects are affected by it.
